from philharmonia with love: somewhere there’s you
In the chill of mid-winter all bundled up in a puffer coat, we know you’re in there. We know the blood runs hot inside that heart of yours: searching, loving - longing to share with the ones you love!
SO…. let us serenade you - with the words of lovers set in early Italian madrigals by Barbara Strozzi and Madalena Casulana, sensuous poems of Octavio Paz set in the music by Eric Whitacre. Yes, we’ll even throw in some ABBA and new pieces by our own PhilHarmonia PHolks – Dana K. Fiero and Lowell Hoyt. Did someone say Chocolate Fountain? And don’t forget the cabaret that will feature songs you’ll want to dedicate to someone special.
Please say you’ll be there. We want to know that somewhere in the crowd, there’s you!
